Chapter 772: Fellow People(2/2)
"Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. Zhu Donglai is destined to fail in the way of heaven and humanity."
Lu Tao smiled and suddenly asked with a serious face: "Shaodian gave me the grain and bid with the Zhu family in Hangzhou, what should I do?"
Xie Fu smiled faintly: "Xie Fu knows clearly what is more important than the other. Even if he loses the bid in the end, Xie Fu will be very happy if he can help you win the hearts of the people."
Feng Shoudao, who was standing aside and listening, was so excited that he couldn't help but slap his thigh hard.
The snapping sound made the two of them look at Feng Shoudao gently at the same time. Lu Tao asked: "Shudao, what's wrong?"
Feng Shoudao said excitedly: "Young Master Xie understands righteousness very well, and I admire him endlessly."
Lu Tao paid tribute to Xie Fu and said with deep meaning: "Young man, I rarely admire others so much when I am a Taoist."
Feng Shoudao answered: "There are only two people who can make me bow to Yuanmen. Now I have one more person to thank, Master."
The two of them smiled and thanked Fu for getting back to the topic: "Sir, it's just that this batch of food is outside the city and is being held by Zhechong Mansion troops. I need to ask you to help me."
Lu Tao thanked Fu with his finger and joked: "So that's it, I'll repay you for being anxious for me."
Xie Fu smiled and didn't answer. With Lu Tao's status, it shouldn't be difficult to get the food back from Zhe Chong Mansion. However, Lu Tao said, "Young idiot, but I can't help you with this matter."
Xie Fu looked surprised, and Feng Shoudao took the initiative to explain: "The Zhe Chong Mansion army is not under the direct control of Mr. Lu, so it can be completely deaf and mute and ignore Mr. Lu's orders."
"To get this batch of grain from Zhechong Prefecture, we need to use the Suzhou Prefecture Army. But the Suzhou Prefecture Army is sticking to its post at the moment. Once they withdraw, I believe there will be a riot in Suzhou City in an instant."
Lu Tao nodded.
Xie Fu asked: "So, the Lord has no one to use."
Lu Tao sighed with emotion: "Young man, do you know how many people have poured into Suzhou City these days, and how many of them are ready to cause trouble? Many soldiers have not had a good sleep for several days."
Xie Fu frowned, then he was just thinking of another strategy. Suddenly he saw Lu Tao smiling calmly and asked: "My lord, you seem to have an idea."
Lu Tao smiled and said: "Our manpower is not equivalent to others not having manpower."
An idea flashed in Xie Fu's mind: "Third Master."
Lu Tao smiled and said: "Yes, Shudu's Tiger Guard, not to mention a temporarily activated Zhechong Mansion army, even a large army can be snatched back by you."
Xie Fu said: "Aren't you afraid, sir?"
Lu Tao chuckled: "Many things are discussed with fists, and we can rationalize them later. You are not a member of the officialdom, so I can't explain it clearly to you right now."
Feng Shoudao explained: "You can completely kill the Zhechong Mansion army, and then file a memorial afterwards saying that they were ambushed by bandits."
Xie Fu was stunned for a moment: "Can such a big thing be covered up?"
Lu Tao smiled and said: "For example, the people in the city clearly know that this person is a corrupt official and does nothing but evil. Why?
There is nothing we can do about him. Even if the court knows that he is guilty, they still have to collect evidence secretly if they want to convict him."
Xie Fu understood everything with just a few words. He always wanted evidence. If he couldn't produce any evidence, it would be useless. He asked softly: "But if we do this, will the observation officer Xu Fulai be willing to give up?"
Lu Tao said calmly: "What's the difficulty? Just kill him together. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. In Suzhou, I am the king."
As he spoke, he patted Xie Fu's shoulder lightly: "The imperial court is not an adult who can distinguish right from wrong. If you need to turn a blind eye, you can do so. Everything is based on interests."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "It's just like you are ready to rebel with strong troops and horses. Instead of saying that you are rebelling, the court dares not accuse you of rebelling. Instead, it wants to appease you."
Seeing Xie Fu casually say the word "rebellion" in front of Mr. Lu, Feng Shoudao looked surprised. Then he thought, Master Lu could have expressed his intention to murder the minister, so why should Xie Fu joke about it?
As expected, Lu Tao smiled faintly: "That's exactly the reason."
He stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a trip to the Gu Mansion."
When they came to Gu Mansion, they met Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan introduced the two of them into the inner hall to talk.
This was the first time Gu Xuan saw Fu Xie after the farewell to Jinling, and they had a very cordial reminiscing about old times.
After reminiscing about old times, it’s time to get down to business.
Lu Tao explained his intention. After hearing this, Gu Xuan said calmly: "What's the problem? I immediately ordered the tiger guards to come over and said that this is the grain of my Gu family. If they dare to stop them in the slightest, they will treat this army as bandits."
killed."
Lu Tao said: "Uncle Du, don't be too aggressive. Just kill the leaders and the other soldiers will naturally obey."
Gu Xuan smiled and said, "Master Lu, I will listen to you, but the formation must be strong enough, otherwise they will think that I, Gu Xuan, are joking with them."
After saying this, I will give the order.
However, Lu Tao pulled Gu Xuan to sit down: "Uncle Du, don't worry. If possible, it would be better if someone else does this."
Xie Fu blurted out: "Who?"
